Hollywood has never been easy for rising stars—but the industry has been particularly difficult for the ones who come from a diverse background. Take for example Eva Longoria, who opened up about facing troubles with individuality in Hollywood.

According to the actress as she appeared to be a Latina, but carried an American accent, it became difficult for her to land roles in the industry. Well, it sounds quite the opposite of what Sofía Vergara has faced in the entertainment industry due to her strong Colombian accent.

Eva Longoria struggled in Hollywood for her lack of accent

With roles ranging from television shows like Desperate Housewives to films like John Wick, Eva Longoria has been a Hollywood staple for over two decades. Therefore, looking back at her career since the late 90s, the actress opened up about the struggles she faced...

Featured on IndieWire’s Most Anticipated Films of 2025, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s upcoming sophomore directorial entry “The Bride!” is shaping up to be one wild ride. With Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley leading as Frankenstein’s monster and his eponymous Bride, the film is a family affair with Gyllenhaal’s husband, Peter Sarsgaard, her brother Jake Gyllenhaal also featured, as well as Penélope Cruz, Annette Bening, and Julianne Hough. Sarsgaard also brought his “September 5” co-star, John Magaro onto the project. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Magaro discussed getting to work on the film, which he described as a mash-up of dance films and movies about bandits in love.

“It’s a wild movie. It’s very different than ‘The Lost Daughter,’ Maggie’s previous film that she directed,” said Magaro. “It’s like a mix of a Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie, ‘Young Frankenstein,’ ‘Frankenstein,’ ‘Bonnie and Clyde,...

First there was Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend, the 2022 film starring Frank Grillo and written by Oscar-winning screenwriter Robert Moresco (Crash). Then came the higher-octane Ferrari, the 2023 biopic directed by Michael Mann, with Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz and Shailene Woodley. Now, in Rome’s famed Cinecittà studios, another legendary Italian supercar manufacturer is being immortalized in Moresco’s Maserati: The Brothers, with Italian actor Michele Morrone playing one of the three siblings who founded the trident brand in 1914. (Anthony Hopkins, Andy Garcia and Jessica Alba also star.)

The producer behind all three films, 37-year-old Italian Canadian Andrea Iervolino, is bringing these automotive origin stories to the screen at a time when Hollywood is going motor mad. Witness the forthcoming F1 starring Brad Pitt, or the recently announced Austin Butler and Tom Holland movie American Speed, or the fresh rumors that Tom Cruise plans to reboot his 1990 NASCAR movie Days of Thunder.

Selena Gomez's chances at earning her first acting nomination at the Oscars could now be ruined. Although she is perhaps best known as a pop star and businesswoman, Gomez has also been an actor since she was a child. After being cast on Barney & Friends in the early 2000s, she went on to play roles in a variety of prominent film and television projects, including Wizards of Waverly Place, Only Murders in the Building, Hotel Transylvania, and Spring Breakers.

However, she delivered one of her best performances yet after joining the Emilia Pérez cast. The 2024 Jacques Audiard musical, which also stars Zoe Saldaña and Karla Sofía Gascón, sees Gomez playing the wife of a Mexican cartel leader. In addition to allowing her to showcase her musical chops in performances of songs such as the Oscar-shortlisted "Mi Camino," the movie has allowed her to be considered an Oscar frontrunner...

Kanye West and Bianca Censori were definitely the center of attention at her 30th birthday celebration, dancing close and celebrating in the Maldives in true Kanye style.

The architect-turned-celebrity wife shared a sultry video of the two on the dance floor, where she had her legs wrapped around his waist while he buried his face in her chest, clearly enjoying the moment to the fullest.

Bianca, never one for modesty, wore a plunging black outfit that left little to the imagination as Kanye danced jubilantly, with live drummers setting the beat.

Tom Cruise is often called ‘The Last Movie Star,’ and for a very good reason. Over his five-decade career, he’s become one of the most famed names in Hollywood, drawing crowds with his blockbuster roles.

Think Top Gun, Mission: Impossible, and, of course, his signature heartthrob status. But beyond the splendid, tempestuous roles, there’s a side of Cruise that often gets overlooked. That side comes out in the 2004 thriller Collateral, where the movie star played a hitman.

It’s because Collateral isn’t the first movie that comes to mind when you think of Cruise, and it’s often overlooked despite being a solid hit at the box office. Fans of his more famous roles might not expect him to play a cold-blooded killer in a dark thriller.

But that’s exactly what he does here, and honestly, it might...

Nicole Kidman has seen the height of fame and success. She has worked with some of the best and become one of the best, spending years to create the reputation she enjoys today. With this in mind, one would assume that she has done it all and regrets very few. However, what about the opportunities she let pass her by?

It would seem that when Kidman was a kid herself, she ended up letting go of a role. This would end up being one of the biggest regrets of her career because of who was directing the project.

Nicole Kidman was a very big theater buff

With the release of her recent film, Babygirl, Nicole Kidman gave an interview with W Magazine. Here, she was asked when she decided to become an actress and if she ever went into theater as a child. The actress revealed that she was,...

When you look at relationships—whether personal or professional—sometimes, the strongest bonds are built on respect, trust, and a shared sense of purpose. And while tabloids are quick to spin tales of romance and drama, the truth is often quieter and more grounded than the headlines suggest.

Take Tom Cruise and Maha Dakhil, for example. The pair recently found themselves at the center of rumors when they were spotted sharing a meal at a restaurant in London. Their cozy, “touchy-feely” demeanor sent the rumor mill into overdrive, with many questioning if their professional relationship had crossed into romantic territory.

But as the old saying goes, things are not always as they seem. According to those close to the duo, while they clearly share a deep friendship, their connection is far from anything romantic.

We are just days out from the 2025 Golden Globes and several categories are still too close to call. Perhaps the most wide-open race is Best Film Drama Actress

With many of the top Oscar contenders like Mikey Madison (Anora), Cynithia Erivo (Wicked), Demi Moore (The Substance), and Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez) over in the Golden Globes’ comedy/musical category, the drama race could be prime for an upset win.

Heavyweights Angelina Jolie (Maria) and Nicole Kidman (Babygirl) are the favorites, according to the Gold Derby panel of experts. Jolie is leading the pack with 37/10 odds and a whopping 1,200 users forecasting her victory, which includes 13 experts, seven editors, and 11 of the site’s top 24 users. Kidman is next at 4/1, followed by Fernanda Torres (I’m Still Here) at 9/2, Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl) at 11/2, Tilda Swinton (The Room Next Door) at 13/2, and Kate Winslet (Lee) at 7/1.

Despite the odds, there is...

It didn’t take long for Tom Cruise to move past Nicole Kidman after their separation in 2001. When Kidman was reportedly aching over the breakup, Cruise got involved with Vanilla Sky co-star Penélope Cruz. Just months after his earlier relationship broke down, Cruise was seen on a vacation with Cruz, something he had allegedly planned with Kidman.

Cruise and Cruz almost hit it right away and continued their relationship until 2004, when they split. It was before he entered into another very public relationship with actress Katie Holmes. Kidman took some time before she found love with her now-husband Keith Urban.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s married life seemed like...

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s love blossomed on the sets of Days of Thunder and the couple swiftly got married in 1990. It was a high-profile relationship that couldn’t escape the paparazzi at all. They adopted two children, born in 1992 and 1995. However, the relationship didn’t work out and they called it quits in 2001. Interestingly, there were some glaring differences in the couples’ views about relationships.

When asked about the concept of monogamy, Kidman and Cruise totally disagreed with each other. Kidman found monogamy unnatural, while Cruise pointed out the sanctity of a family unit. It is surprising how things turned out for both Kidman and Cruise in the following two decades.

Some will argue that Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is not the worst Pirates of the Caribbean movie, but it does rapidly introduce characters who disappear from the franchise after the one-off adventure's end. The initial Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy has defined parameters. After the conclusion of the trilogy's main storyline and the departure of Orlando Bloom's Will Turner and Keira Knightley's Elizabeth Swann, Disney was challenged with coming up with a fresh new story, preferably with sequel potential, with Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow and Geoffrey Rush's Hector Barbossa still on board.

Penélope Cruz as Angelica was wasted; she could have carried a new era of Pirates of the Caribbean alongside Captain Jack, but the disappointing reception of On Stranger Tides led to another soft reboot and most of the characters from the fourth installment being dropped. This includes the replacement young lovers...

Pedro Almodóvar is nobody’s idea of a conventional, throwback director in most ways. But among top international directors over the last 40 years, he stands if not alone but at least above anyone else until now in gaining prominence in the U.S. with subtitled films — without ever making an English-language one.

Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Akira Kurosawa, François Truffaut, all of whom saw consistent success in U.S. arthouses, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, made either just one or no films outside their native languages. From the 1980s, it became common for the most successful European and Latin American directors to pursue projects in English, sometimes never returning to their native tongues. Many others, like Bong Joon Ho, Alfonso Cuarón, and Guillermo del Toro, have leapfrogged to English-language scripts and actors after their initial successes.

Not Almodóvar, until now. With “The Room Next Door” (Sony Pictures Classics), he...

Despite some excellent movies hitting theaters, 2024 was, to use a sports phrase, a rebuilding year. The 2023 Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes ground Hollywood to a halt before the studios ultimately agreed to some much-needed concessions for the folks who physically make the films and TV shows we all love, and the downstream effects of that unnecessarily drawn-out labor stoppage spilled into 2024. Movies and shows that were supposed to come out needed time to restart production, studios delayed some releases into 2025, and the industry as a whole experienced a contraction. The first half of this year was rough at the box office, but thanks to several major wins near the end of the year, theatrical exhibition managed to stay alive and make up a ton of ground.

While we'll likely be seeing the effects of the strikes and the subsequent contraction for a while, the floodgates are preparing to open for...

Tom Cruise and Penélope Cruz were once the most glamorous and eye-catching couple in Hollywood, and everyone spoke about them in the early 2000s. The duo first met on the set of Vanilla Sky, and their on-screen chemistry later evolved to a high-profile romance.

But more than the actual relationship, it was their breakup in 2004 that caused the most buzz and endless speculations. However, both of them handled the situation with grace amidst the rampant rumors. So, here’s the story of their bittersweet ending, and Cruz’s heartfelt words about her ex-boyfriend.

it was Javier Bardem’s wife, Penélope Cruz, who was the one to reveal to her husband that he earned his seventh Golden Globe nomination for playing Jose Menendez on Netflix’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The couple were with their children in Abu Dhabi, where Bardem is filming F1 opposite Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon and Tobias Menzies, when she revealed the good news.

“The family came here to pay a visit, and I asked my wife to check Google for the nominations,” Bardem tells Deadline. “And she said, ‘what do you mean?’ I said, ‘well the Golden Globe nominations are today.’ She said, why didn’t you tell me before?’ I said, why would I? Let’s see what happens. Then she looked at me and said, ‘you are nominated.’ It was nice and easy.”

If Bardem wins the Globe, it will be his second win...

In the 20th century, Enzo Ferrari changed the game by inventing a sexy, world-class vehicle that's still at the heap today. In the 21st, Ferrari director Michael Mann is attempting to do the same by bringing back a technology that should never have fallen out of fashion in the first place: the humble custom website.

A decidedly coy Michael Mann said little about Heat 2, his follow-up film to the 1995 crime drama Heat that starred Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, while attending the Red Sea Film Festival on Sunday.

“The next (movie) I’d like to do is Heat 2,” Mann reiterated in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, during an informal conversation in Old City Al Balad after an earlier screening of Heat at the festival. He was careful to reveal little about the screenplay for the project, which Mann has reportedly set up at Warner Bros. “It has to be finished really soon.”

The Heat sequel has been on the back burner for some time now, but Mann breathed new life into the project with his 2022 crime novel Heat 2, co-written by the 81-year-old director and author Meg Gardiner, which acts as both a prequel and a sequel to Mann’s 1995 crime film classic. The book became a No.

Lauded filmmaker Michael Mann gave a special presentation on his “Michael Mann’s Ferrari Expanded” website at the Red Sea International Film Festival, where he walked the audience through the material available on the bespoke platform. He also spoke about the current standing of his long-awaited sequel to “Heat.”

“When [the festival] propositioned a masterclass, it occurred to me to bring to your attention the website because the idea was to take people behind the adventure of what directors do when you build a film like ‘Ferrari’,” he said. “There has never been a website quite like this because we knew that we were doing [the website] when we were shooting the movie.”

Mann’s “Ferrari Expanded,” accessible through a $65 dollar fee, features over 200 videos and 3,400 documents on the making of the film, which stars Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz and Shailene Woodley and is set in the summer of 1957 as Enzo Ferrari is on...

Sometimes, the one thing we want out of movies is for them to play on our emotions, senses, and logical reasoning with enough aplomb and effectiveness to make us feel them in our bones — to physically overwhelm us, tense up our nerves, draw sweat from our palms, make our eyes open wide involuntarily.

No kind of movie does that better than a good thriller, whether we're talking tight, single-location potboilers that keep turning up the heat, mind-exploding puzzle films that make you guess and hold your breath for answers, gritty unsentimental crime capers, deep forays into disturbed and traumatized psyches, or carefully-plotted twist-o-ramas. There are countless great thrillers out there, but, if you're looking for a worthwhile one to queue up on Prime Video, you've come to the right place. Here, we've compiled a list of 15 excellent thriller movies available at no additional charge to U.S. Prime Video subscribers.

Colman Domingo is having a great 24 hours.

Just one day after being named the Gotham Award winner for “Sing Sing” in the Outstanding Lead Performance category, he has been feted by the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (Sbiff) to receive the Montecito Award at their 40th annual awards gala.

He will accept the prize on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025, during an evening that will highlight his heralded performance as prison inmate Divine G in Greg Kwedar’s “Sing Sing.” Gold Derby predicts that Domingo will garner a Best Actor Oscar nomination for this role, one year after he contended in the same category for “Rustin.” He’s also a 2022 Emmy winner for guest-starring on “Euphoria.”

Getting a movie made in Hollywood is hard enough, but trying to make an independent feature is becoming all but impossible, even for the likes of proven entity Todd Solondz. After a career consisting of off-beat, but beloved films like “Welcome to the Dollhouse,” “Happiness,” and “Wiener-Dog,” Solondz is now struggling to get financing for his latest effort, “Love Child,” despite the commitments of Elizabeth Olsen and Charles Melton who signed on to star back in February of this year. Speaking in a recent interview with Vulture, Olsen admitted that getting the film made is proving more challenging than she initially thought.

“I’m not a producer on it, but I’ve never hustled more for a movie that’s having a hard time getting made,” Olsen said. “There’s so many things I could say about that in private. It really comes down to having really responsible budgets. But...

Oscar winner Javier Bardem stars in his first television series as Jose Menendez, an abusive father who was brutally murdered by his sons in Netflix’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.” The Spanish actor hadn’t heard about the crime when it took over American media in 1989, but he accepted the part sight unseen because of showrunner Ryan Murphy‘s involvement, who had directed him in the 2010 film “Eat Pray Love.”

“Ryan was explaining to me what the case was about, and then he encouraged me to read about it,” Bardem reveals. “When I read it, I went ‘Oh, wow. This is very delicate,’ because of the issues that it touches. Sexual abuse, but also physical, emotional, psychological abuse, and the brutal murder of those parents.” Both Jose and his wife Kitty (played by Chloë Sevigny) were gunned down in their Beverly Hills home by Lyle (played by...

Looking outside America this Oscar season, there are plenty of candidates for the Best International Feature award. You might gravitate to Latvia’s Cannes entry Flow, a dialogue-free animation in which a black cat, a bird and a ragtag band of other creatures fight for survival in a human-free world after a catastrophic flood. Or maybe you’ll fancy the chances of raucous Irish-language Sundance comedy Kneecap, a wildly stylized biopic of the English-baiting, all-male hip-hop trio from Belfast.

But these two are outliers; the international Oscar race this year is dominated by stories of women, from all over the world. For example, the U.K.’s Hindi-language drama Santosh, filmed in Uttar Pradesh, Northern India, finds a policeman’s widow thrown into her late husband’s world, where she must battle police indifference and solve the murder of a low-caste local girl. From Bulgaria there is Triumph, a political...

Scarlett Johansson collaborated with Woody Allen for the third time in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. The film tells the story of Vicky and Cristina, played by Rebecca Hall and Johansson, who get entangled with Javier Bardem’s Juan. The film had some intimate scenes involving Johansson, Bardem, and Penélope Cruz.

Johansson opened up about the film in an old interview, talking about the notion that this film was Allen’s steamiest film. Steamiest or not, the film was Allen’s one of the highest-grossing films at the time. Cruz won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and the film won the Golden Globe for Best Film – Musical or Comedy.

Zendaya and Tom Holland might have become Hollywood’s favorite duo both on and off-screen, with fans swooning over every movie they do together. And now, they’re apparently setting their sights on a five-film record, even making some waves with rumors about joining forces in a Christopher Nolan flick. Pretty impressive, right?

But here’s the twist: the lovebirds still have a few miles to go before they can dethrone the ultimate power couple of cinema. There’s a Hollywood pair who’s taken co-starring to a whole new level, already clocking in more than five films together. Sorry, Holland and Zendaya, but the reigning champs aren’t ready to pass the baton just yet!

When it came to the bombing of Borderlands, among other late summer and fall releases, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer made no bones about emphasizing culpa nostra.

“On Borderlands, nearly everything that could go wrong did go wrong: it sat on the shelf for too long during the pandemic, and reshoots and rising interest rates took it outside the safety zone of our usual strict financial models,” the Lionsgate boss said during Thursday’s on today’s earnings call to discuss second-quarter 2024 earnings.

The $120 million feature adaptation of the famed video game starred Jack Black, Kevin Hart and, most glaring of all, two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett in a renegade action role. The movie grossed $15.4M domestic and close to $33M worldwide. Lionsgate mitigates risk on its movies by selling off foreign rights. Still, Borderlands, per sources, is expected to lose as much as $30M. It was a clear case of...

Disney and Lucasfilm refuse to let the ghosts of the Skywalker clan rest in peace after the disaster show that was the sequel trilogy. What started as a novelty with George Lucas’ original trilogy was running on fumes by the point the Skywalker saga concluded in 2019 with the final installment in the sequel trilogy or so we thought.

The Skywalker saga might continue with a new Star Wars trilogy (Credit: Lucasfilm).

A new report indicated that Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy has given the green light to develop a new Star Wars trilogy, which is described as episodes 10 to 12 of the overarching narrative that has been unfolding on the big screen for over four decades. However, the existence of such a project hints at Lucasfilm’s creative bankruptcy. Here is what you need to know about the proposed new Star Wars trilogy.

En Day Drinker, un barman de un crucero conoce a un misterioso bebedor diurno, y ambos se ven envueltos en una trama criminal y vinculados de forma inesperada.

El presidente de Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, Adam Fogelson, ha dicho en un comunicado: «Day Drinker combina un concepto muy comercial con giros salvajemente extravagantes en un mundo increíble, y no hay mejor cineasta que Marc ni dos actores más perfectos que Johnny y Penélope para dar vida a ese mundo».

Despite the recognition she received for the role, Hepburn wasn’t the first or the right choice for the role according to Capote. In an interview, Capote explained his reasoning behind preferring a different actress for the lead role in the adaptation of his novel. Meanwhile, Hepburn also doubted if she was the right choice for the film, and here is what the two had to say.

Exclusive: Sports car biopic Maserati: The Brothers, which gets underway this month, has booked into Rome’s iconic Cinecittà studios.

Filming will also take place in Modena and Bologna, and the production will use VR and VFX technology from Tuscany Film Studio.

Like a veteran high roller playing the odds, indie film execs crowding the new Vegas venue at the Palms Casino for this year’s American Film Market are hedging their bets. The independent film business, a risky proposal at the best of times, has becoming increasingly precarious with theatrical releases an all-or-nothing proposal — the jackpot of Longlegs versus the bust of Borderlands and Megalopolis — and buyers hesitant to place their chips on anything that doesn’t look like a sure thing.

For indie movies at the AFM, that means a doubling down on genre films, particularly horror and action, and a move away from drama and comedy titles, which are considered riskier bets internationally.

“People are really focused on genre, even some of the smaller international sales companies are boosting their genre slates,” notes one U.S. seller. “Success has become impossible to predict and everyone is looking for anything that has a built-in audience.

Exclusive: After signing on to a handful of promising indies, 1883 breakout Isabel May has come aboard to star opposite Past Lives‘ Teo Yoo in Karoshi, the mysterious action thriller that Takashi Doscher wrote and will direct for Lionsgate.

May’s role is being kept under wraps, as is the plot of the film, which is described as a corporate thriller with a samurai twist. 87Eleven Entertainment’s Chad Stahelski, Alex Young, and Jason Spitz will produce as one of the first projects through their first-look production deal with Lionsgate.

Best known for her breakout role of Elsa Dutton in Taylor Sheridan’s Western drama 1883, which she reprised as narrator of 1923 — another of Sheridan’s prequels to hit Paramount+ series Yellowstone — May is coming off of a role in Apple TV+’s starry miniseries Masters of the Air.

Upcoming projects for May include the horror film Menace, which she also...

Considered one of the best films of the Coen brother’s filmography, No Country for Old Men won several accolades on its release. The neo-Western crime thriller starred Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin together with Tommy Lee Jones and was based on Cormac McCarthy’s 2005 novel.

Bardem’s performance as the bold hitman Anton Chigurh was praised by the viewers and critics alike. However, the actor’s reason for greenlighting the script would surprise fans. The actor mentioned feeling out of place for the savage role until he saw the haircut they wanted for his character, the ridiculous get-up made him say yes.

Exclusive: Golden Globe nominee Jessica Alba (Sin City) is the latest name to join sports car biopic Maserati: The Brothers.

Garcia will play Mr. Rossini. Morrone will star as brother Alfieri Maserati. Hopkins will play an Italian financier who bankrolls the family.

The film will be produced by Italy’s Andrea Iervolino his new film and TV outfit called The Andrea Iervolino Company and directed by Oscar winner Bobby Moresco (Crash). Filming is due to get underway at the end of next month in Italy.

Maserati was founded in 1914 in a garage in the central Italian city of Bologna by three brothers: Alfieri, Ettore and Ernesto. From its early days, the company – which is now known for luxury cars — was connected to the world of car racing.

Producers and distributors heading to Las Vegas for this year’s American Film Market, which runs Nov. 5-10, are betting big that indie action is primed for a comeback.

The AFM was built on action movies — the leading independent film bazaar launched in 1981 at the start of a decade defined by the cinematic stylings of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steven Segal, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme. But in recent markets, with the headline-grabbing success of breakouts like Neon’s Longlegs and Cineverse’s Terrifier 3, action has taken a backseat to horror.

There will be scares-a-plenty at AFM 2024, but many of the market’s buzziest projects sit squarely in the action space. Even a few that don’t star Liam Neeson, Gerard Butler, Jason Statham or Nic Cage. How buyers respond to this new generation of would-be action stars — Daisy Ridley, Amber Midthunder, Alan Ritchson — will determine who...
